Robin Williams Didn't Have Financial Trouble: Publicist

The spokeswoman for Robin Williams' family debunked widespread reports Wednesday that the comedian, who died Monday in a suspected suicide, had serious money troubles.

"Reports suggesting Robin may have had financial issues are simply false," Mara Buxbaum — who was also Williams' publicist — said in an email to NBC News: "I understand people's desire to try to understand this, but we would encourage your focus be on working to help others and understand depression."

Williams' 640-acre estate in California's Napa Valley — a working farm commissioned in the early 2000s and named Villa Sorriso, or Villa of Smiles — had been listed for sale for $29.9 million since April.
